Trump threatens to strike Iran’s power plants if Hormuz not open in 48 hours
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that if Iran does not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, the United States will strike and obliterate Iran’s power plants, starting with the largest. The claim comes as Iran has effectively closed the strait, disrupting global shipping and the oil market. The message suggests a shift from earlier efforts to reopen the strait with Navy escorts to a willingness to apply military pressure on Tehran’s infrastructure. The article also notes that Trump had previously sought to secure the passage through naval support and international help, now signaling a more forceful approach. Related coverage highlights energy-security concerns and regional responses, including the G7 being “ready” to protect energy supplies amid Iran’s Hormuz actions.
Trump threatens to ‘obliterate’ Iran’s power plants if Strait of Hormuz not open in 48 hours
President Donald Trump has given Iran two days to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face more strikes, this time targeting their power plants.
“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he posted on Truth Social on Saturday evening.
Iran has effectively closed the strait since the start of the war, halting global shipping and roiling the oil trade.
Trump had previously worked to reopen it himself, vowing Navy escorts for ships and trying to attract other countries to contribute warships for defense capabilities.
But the president’s threat signals he is ready to apply military pressure on Tehran instead.
